Resistance

Former Texas Principal Who Was Forced To Resign Over Critical Race Theory Runs For State Board Of Education — NewsOneJames Whitfield—the man who was the first Black principal at Colleyville Heritage High School in Texas, is running for the State Board of Education after being forced to resign over critical race theory allegations that he promoted “conspiracy theory of systemic racism."

Yikes! Who knew?! In order to protect the sensitivities of fragile white people, like this one single parent who got a principal fired because s/he is convinced that "there's no racism anywhere in the United States!" Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.

From the article:

"Obviously, in a state that has already passed anti-Critical Race Theory legislation that dropped requirements for educators to teach the works of Martin Luther King Jr., and that the Ku Klux Klan was “morally wrong,” among other things, Whitfield is looking at an uphill battle to be elected onto the board."

As far as I'm concerned, we cannot get enough of these direct frontal assaults on white supremacy and Jim Crow 2.0, a national movement with international implications galore. (Check out white supremacy in Putin's Russia, for example.) I don't know that much about Gary Chambers outside of this statement, but, boy, do I approve this ad!

John Grisham Is Still Battling His Southern Demons“It was such a hard-right-wing, racist society that I grew up in. I’ve come a long way.”

Like a huge number of people, I've read a lot of Grisham and one can see from this article that he's had his own struggle with and victory over the Zombie.
